Pixly

Enhance

enhance_photo

Real estate photo editing in one step: turn an amateur listing photo into a finished, professional photo (exposure, color, clarity). Returns 3 variants to pick from. Costs credits from the user's Pixly balance.

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description
`r2Path`	No	Storage path of a photo already in the user's Pixly library (from list_library, or returned by an upload ticket) — the alternative to imageUrl.
`imageUrl`	No	Public https URL of the source photo, or a data: URI. Either imageUrl or r2Path is required.
`listingId`	No	A property folder (from list_listings or create_listing) to put the result in. Results of a photo that is already in a folder go there by themselves.

Output Schema

Name	Required	Description
`jobs`	No	Several jobs at once (get_job with jobIds, or a plan's steps): each one's jobId, status and results
`note`	No
`type`	No
`error`	No
`jobId`	Yes	Pass to get_job to poll
`quote`	No	Present when status is "awaiting_confirmation": nothing ran and nothing was charged yet — the price and settings the user is asked to confirm
`status`	Yes	pending \| processing \| completed \| failed — anything not completed/failed is still running
`createdAt`	No
`resultUrls`	No	Present when completed; valid 7 days
`completedAt`	No
`resultPaths`	No	Storage path of each result — pass one as r2Path (or beforeR2Path, a photos[] item) to run another tool on this result
`creditsCharged`	No

TDQS

A4/5.0

Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Beyond the annotations (readOnly=false, destructive=false, idempotent=false, openWorld=true), the description discloses two genuinely useful traits: it returns 3 variants rather than one, and it consumes Pixly credits, which matters because idempotentHint=false means retries are billable. It stops short of saying how many credits or whether each variant is a separate charge.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Three short sentences, each load-bearing: purpose, output behavior, and cost. The primary action is front-loaded before the secondary facts.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

An output schema exists, so variant structure need not be spelled out, and annotations carry the safety profile. What the description supplies (variant count, credit cost) plus the schema's source-path guidance makes it adequate, though credit amount and output resolution remain unstated.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so r2Path, imageUrl, and listingId are already fully documented in the schema, including the 'either/or' requirement for the image source. The description adds nothing about parameters, so the baseline 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource ('turn an amateur listing photo into a finished, professional photo') and names the edit dimensions it covers (exposure, color, clarity), which separates it from siblings such as restyle_room, declutter_photo, or touch_up_exterior.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Usage is implied by the framing ('in one step', cost in credits), but the description never states when to choose this over the many sibling photo editors, nor any when-not condition. An agent must infer the fit from surrounding tool names.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
